  • Are Tanzania's cotton companies erecting oil mills?
  • As well as investing in ginnery expansion, many of Tanzania¡¯s cotton companies have recently been erecting oil mills. We understand that twelve or more cotton companies now have their own mills.

  • Why is smallholder cotton production so competitive in Tanzania?
  • Smallholder production of cotton in Tanzania is low cost, hence internationally competitive, fundamentally because producers are able to obtain tolerable seed cotton yields with very little capital investment, thanks to the continuing fertility of their soil. In the areas that we visited, there were some indications that this is changing.
